JJ,
I, likewise, believe we don't have much of a difference of opinion.
That said, I hope that you will rekindle some spirit and help the conservative candidate of your choice next year.
wingman1, I am ever vigilant for a candidate worth my pennies, and more importantly my respect, trust ergo, vote. As some have said here, I I'll admit I HATED it when it was ........ "I didn't vote for Bush, as much as I voted against Kerry". (Note, I did not say that nor feel that way, but I have a finer understanding of it's true meaning now than ever). With that, I'll keep a light on for the conservatives to ride in again.
Have a wonderful day ! :)
